    Highly recommend!

    We had so much fun on our Guatapé tour with Sara. She was so warm and friendly, and a great guide! Climbing the rock is definitely worth it — the views from the top are awesome. Sara also took us on a boat ride which was lovely! Cool to see the rock from a different angle. Would recommend!

    Fantastic tour! Highly recommend!

    This was a fantastic tour and totally worth it. I highly recommend booking and booking with Erika. Would book again and if had more time , would have booked additional tours with her. Erika was amazing and made the tour. She was very knowledgeable and made us feel at ease. I can’t recall ever laughing so much on a tour. She made sure we were able to see everything we were wanted and showed us areas off the beaten path. She went above and beyond and her knowledge of the smallest details in the town was very impressive.

    Guatapé + Boat Tour! 10/10!

    We had an amazing experience touring Guatapé with our entire family! We were a group of 9, and everything about the tour was wonderful from start to finish. We enjoyed a delicious traditional Colombian lunch, took a beautiful boat ride with incredible views, and explored the colorful town of Guatapé. Our tour guide, Diana, was absolutely amazing! She was fluent in both English and Spanish, incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone in our group felt comfortable and included. She provided so much interesting information about the history and culture of the area, which made the experience even more special. We highly recommend this tour, especially for families or larger groups. It was a perfect combination of beautiful scenery, great food, culture, and fun. We would definitely do it again! 🇨🇴❤️

    Amazing

    I cannot recommend MedellinDayTrips enough! From beginning to end, the level of service was exceptional. Andres, the owner, was incredibly responsive and communicative both before and throughout our tours. I was traveling with my parents, and it was very important to me that their needs and comfort were taken into consideration. Andres went above and beyond to make sure everything was accommodated and that we felt completely taken care of. We initially booked a private Guatapé tour for Wednesday with our guide, Erika, and she was absolutely AMAZING. We enjoyed our day with her so much that before the tour was even over, we decided we wanted to book another tour for the very next day! Andres immediately worked with us and was able to accommodate the last-minute request, which we greatly appreciated. Erika truly made our experience in Medellín special. She was warm, patient, personable, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made us feel like we were exploring Colombia with a friend rather than simply following a tour guide. Her knowledge of Medellín, Colombian culture, history, and especially coffee was so impressive. We learned so much from her, but she presented everything in such a natural and engaging way that it never felt like a typical scripted tour. What stood out most was the genuine care both Erika and Andres showed my family. Traveling with older parents can require a little extra patience and flexibility, and they made everything easy and comfortable without ever making us feel rushed. That meant so much to me. We came to Medellín expecting to take one tour and ended up booking two consecutive days with MedellinDayTrips—that alone should tell you how pleased we were! If you are visiting Medellín and looking for a trustworthy, professional, knowledgeable and genuinely caring tour company, look no further. Ask for Erika if you can—you will absolutely love her. And thank you, Andres, for the outstanding service and for helping make our family trip to Colombia so memorable. Five stars truly aren’t enough. We would book with MedellinDayTrips again without hesitation!

    Tour of Guatapé + boat ride

    Erika was a fantastic guide. She was extremely engaging and very knowledgeable about the region’s history and politics. She accommodated the desires of the group and regularly provided options for each activity. She projects her voice well and our entire group was always able the hear her. If I were to take another tour in the region, I would request Erika.

    Private Guatape & Boat Ride & Llama Farm: Unforgettable Fun: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.

    How does Private Guatape & Boat Ride & Llama Farm: Unforgettable Fun compare to similar tours in Medellín?

    +

    It ranks #7 of the 7 similar experiences we compared in Medellín, with an Outty Ranking of 76. At $176 it sits above the typical similar option ($24), so book it for what is included rather than price. Best for families and travelers who want a full-day outing.

    Who is Private Guatape & Boat Ride & Llama Farm: Unforgettable Fun best for?

    +

    It suits families and travelers who want a full-day outing best, based on its 9.5-hour length, all-ages access and free cancellation up to 24 hours before.

    Is Private Guatape & Boat Ride & Llama Farm: Unforgettable Fun good value?

    +

    It is a premium pick. It starts at $176, above the $24 typical for similar experiences in Medellín.

    How much does Private Guatape & Boat Ride & Llama Farm: Unforgettable Fun cost?

    +

    Prices start at $176 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Guatape & Boat Ride & Llama Farm: Unforgettable Fun take?

    +

    Plan for about 9.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medellín is not rushed.

    Is Private Guatape & Boat Ride & Llama Farm: Unforgettable Fun worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 59 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Guatape & Boat Ride & Llama Farm: Unforgettable Fun?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Guatape & Boat Ride & Llama Farm: Unforgettable Fun suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Guatape & Boat Ride & Llama Farm: Unforgettable Fun?

    +

    Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medellín can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 9.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Guatape & Boat Ride & Llama Farm: Unforgettable Fun start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medellín within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Medellín?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Medellín?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Medellín?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
